Lord, My Petition Heed

Lord my pe­ti­tion heed

Now help me in my need

My Sav­ior be.

I am Thy serv­ant

Lord

My trust is in Thy Word

Mercy to me af­ford

I cry to Thee.

Comfort Thy serv­ant now

While at Thy throne I bow

For Thou art love.

Thy par­don­ing grace is free;

Sinners who call on Thee

Thy ten­der mer­cy see

O God above.

Lord

hear me while I pray

While now in troub­le’s day

I seek Thy face.

To an­swer

Lord

is Thine;

Thou on­ly art di­vine

Most bright Thy glo­ries shine

O God of grace.

By all whom Thou hast made

Be praise and wor­ship paid

Through earth abroad;

Thy name be glo­ri­fied

There is none great be­side

Matchless Thy works ab­ide

For Thou art God.

Help me Thy will to do

Thy truth I will pur­sue

Teach me to fear;

Give me the sin­gle eye

Thy name to glo­ri­fy

O Lord

my God most high

With heart sin­cere.

How great Thy love ap­pears

That bade death’s gloo­my fears

No more dis­may;

O God

to an­ger slow

Save me from ev­ery foe

Thy lov­ing­kind­ness show

Thy truth disp­lay.

Show me Thy mer­cy true

Thy serv­ant’s strength re­new

Deliverance send;

To me Thy good­ness show

Thy com­fort

Lord

be­stow;

Let those that hate me know

Thou art my friend.
